I hope it was worth it....?
There was an unfortunate summer several years ago that I lost/misplaced/had stolen two lovely straws. It was no fun at all.
Hopefully I'll me able to hang on to my new ones now that I have upgraded to Monticrstis.
That's kind of you to say. Thank you.
I seem to be buying even more hats this year. Something special arrived today. Talk about peacock!

I am sad that this hat did not arrive in time for me to participate in the challenge, especially as I would not have found it without @Tirailleur1's help, but happy that I will be able to wear it on my upcoming visit to Naples:

^^ Wow, what a hat!
I'm not entirely sure how this works (when voting ends), but I am humbled at the number of votes I have received! Thanks for organising this challenge - I've always had a fondness for wearing hats

One of the things I’ve liked about recent challenges is that it gets people to wear things they don’t wear over at the WAYWRN thread. I wouldn’t have predicted that certain people owned some of the wardrobe items they wear here. Very nice.
Now that the voting has ended I can share my appreciation of a couple of entries without the appearance of campaigning.
(1) I have now realized that I tend to associate monochromatic outfits only with the dressy side of the casual/dressy continuum, probably because I unconsciously associate them with the beautifully elegant black-and-white severity of traditional evening wear. Claghorn’s entry disabused me of that narrow view, proving that a casual outfit need not be flamboyant but can indeed aspire to the same sort of austere elegance as a more formal outfit. Quite beautiful. Note how important that belt is to the effect, by the way.
(2) Among other things, in stitches got points for that apparently genuine smile. I’m hoping that with time this new smile will gradually overwrite the memory of the creepy smile from the DTO challenge which has been giving me nightmares of late. We shall see.
(3) I’m a sucker for classic British style, be it city or country, so it won’t surprise anyone that I loved Cleav’s entry. Completely coherent, at once casual and elegant. The Brits have historically done that potentially contradictory combination of “country” and “elegant” way better than most. Seeing Cleav’s fit, by the way, was what inspired me to post my own, so feel free to blame him for that.
In fact, it occurs to me as I write that I’d love to see an ‘Homage to Britain’ challenge someday: a tribute to the place where the classic style began. It gave us all the now-familiar categories by which we evaluate fits (city/country, day/evening, etc.), not to mention Macclesfield ties, hacking and Norfolk jackets, the military/equestrian structured look of Saville Row, tweed, and, um, Basil Fawlty and Carnaby Street. And we’ve got some very well-dressed members from Ireland and the UK. What’s not to like?
Cheers,
Ac

Ac, many thanks for your kind words I'm honoured indeed. Also pleased to have played a small part in your own excellent fit. I too have a collection of crops BTW...

If you ever make it over to Salerno, check out Cappelleria Russo Giosue. I got a Montecristi from there last summer. The hat buyer at Paul Stuart liked it so much he started giving me advice on its upkeep.
